DESCRIPTION:"Here you have it, a forceful rejection of that gleeful, adolescent 
 paranoia that masquerades as hardcore realism... "catastrophism' is a wish 
 expressed as a fear, a masochistic cop-out that postures as bravery. 
 Welcoming the end of the world as the catalyst of political deliverance is 
 one of the most irresponsible positions on offer. This book is a superb 
 antidote to the unproductive politics of fear." \n- Christian Parenti, 
 author of Tropic of Chaos\n \n"Bravo! This...has been sorely needed for so 
 long to reveal the dead end that a politics founded on catastrophic 
 predictions must lead to in terms of either preventing them or actually 
 changing the world. Essential reading for all those on the left who are 
 concerned with the question of strategy today."\n- Leo Panitch, coauthor, 
 "The Making of Global Capitalism"\n \n"Catastrophism comes at the right 
 moment: the year of The End proclaimed across the political spectrum from 
 deep ecologists to the Mayan Calendarists It is a warning not to abandon 
 everyday anticapitalist politics for a politics of absolute fear that 
 inevitably leads to inaction." \n- Silvia Federici, author, Revolution at 
 Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle\n \nSasha 
 Lilley, a writer and radio broadcaster, is the co-founder and host of the 
 critically acclaimed program of radical ideas, Against the Grain. While 
 program director of KPFA Radio, the flagship station of the Pacifica 
 Network, she headed up such award-winning national broadcasts as "Winter 
 Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan." Sasha is the series editor of PM Press' 
 political economy imprint, Spectre, and is the author of Capital and Its 
 Discontents.  Her co-authors for Catastrophism are David McNally, Eddie 
 Yuen, and James Davis.\n\nHosted by Brian Edwards-Tiekert \n\n$12 advance
